1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Our understanding of the pathophysiology of the pathological pain and the pharmacology of analgesic treatments has progressed tremendously over the past two decades. Among the well-documented pro-algesic factors, glia and other toll-like receptors (TLRs)-expressing cells in the neuroimmune interface have been recognized for their role in the development of neuropathic pain and for compromising the analgesic effects of opioids. Here, we comprehensively review the molecular mechanisms of pain initiation and progression, the role of TLRs in these processes, and the molecular mechanisms of morphine and morphine-3-glucuronide in TLR-dependent central immune signaling. The data reviewed here suggest that, while targeting glia to treat neuropathic pain, both analgesic and analgesia-opposing effects of opioids must be considered by acknowledging their role in TLR-mediated signaling.
